The Superintendence of Power reported yesterday that power service is stable in the DR thanks to the re-entry of the Cogentrix plant and its 285 megawatts of production. The plant went online when AES announced they would be taking their 240-megawatt AES Andres plant offline due to lack of funds for the purchase of fuel. Maximum availability yesterday was 1,200 megawatts, and maximum demand is estimated at around 1,700 megawatts during peak hours. Blackouts have diminished considerably and there are sectors of Santo Domingo that have electricity now on a permanent basis.
